Hey guys! Today I’m joining in with our friend, Summer, and celebrating Cat World Domination Day. Though we know cats dominate the world every day…this is the official day of recognition.

How do cats dominate the world? Well, you can’t deny that us cats call all the shots. WE are in charge. We do whatever we want whenever we want. No one can make us do something we don’t wanna do. Well, ‘cept for going to the vet. Seems like humans make us go no matter how much we try to avoid it. We need to work on that.

And we demand that our humans cater to our every whim. Whatever we want…whenever we want it.

Like here. The mom was busy doing stuff around the house. Stuff that I didn’t care about. But I wanted a belly rubbing. So I made her stop everything she was doing and rub my belly.

Okay…I’ll be honest. I didn’t have to demand very much. All it took was for me to roll over and show my belly. The mom was more than willing to stop and give it a rubbing. That’s the kind of control us cats have!

Ernie, you definitely have your paw on the pulse and know how to keep things in check. The way it should be. My mom thinks she has clicker trained us the do hi 5 when in fact, we have just trained her to dispense the treats. MOL cat rules 101

We’re in charge too…except for the whole vet thing, which we could do without.

Kim here: Thanks for stopping by and leaving a post with positive thoughts for Derry. If it turns out to be a malignant tumour, I wanted to clarify that of course I wouldn’t just let him go, as long as he had good quality of life and could live normally. But there’s a line, IMO, and if/when things got to the point that he needed extensive medical care and many trips to the vet, I would have to make the tough decision. I didn’t mean to imply otherwise, I reread my post this morning, after a better night’s sleep, and thought, whoops, I hope that wasn’t misunderstood.

Great job getting that belly rub, Ernie! Impressive skills at work there. Manna and Dexter often talk me into giving them each a small piece of my bacon in the morning. They are definitely dominating me!
